Question on a page I'm patrolling
Hey there. I notice you're patrolling new pages now too. I'm new to that, and I have a question: Should Rice production in Iran be nominated for speedy-delete under A10 or G12 (http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/berenj-rice), PRODed, or proposed to be merged into Agriculture in Iran? Or can I even do the merger myself, for an article as small as this one? Thanks! —Ignatzmicetalkcontribs 03:31, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Ignatzmice! The first sentence is an unambiguous copyright infringement from the link, so by that rationale it should have been speedy deleted, but actually, the title is encyclopaedic and a valid search term, so I've made it into a redirect to the page. I glanced at the Agriculture in Iran page and saw info on rice production there, so just making the page a redirect seemed appropriate. Mabalu (talk) 09:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks! I'll keep that in mind. —Ignatzmicetalkcontribs 13:00, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Cornwall Historical Society
I am the Executive Director of the Cornwall Historical Society. How can I create a Wikipedia page for our organization if I can't use any of our information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raechelguest (talk • contribs) 18:46, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The page was deleted because the text looked to be a clear copyright violation. If it had been paraphrased, not using the same words as the source, but giving the same meaning (with a citation), it would have been fine. Also, I should advise that there is a conflict of interest in your creating an article about an organisation with which you are so closely involved. Mabalu (talk) 18:58, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

NFCR notification
Hi Mabalu. You asked to be notified if the discussion at WP:NFCR for the image of (allegedly) Araksi Cetinyan was ever closed. I have done so and deleted the image. Please see for more information. --B (talk) 00:37, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks - I'd forgotten about this. Think the right decision was made. Mabalu (talk) 01:49, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
